TPS7A45: Does TPS7A45 meet below requirements?

Part Number: TPS7A45

Hi Team,

Vin=13V, Vout=12V, Iout_avg=400mA,(Ipulse=1.9A@20ms), Does TPS7A45 meet the requirements? I don't see a description of transient capability in Datasheet. Please help to recommend the most suitable device. Thanks

  • Hi Dillen,

    The limiting factor for TPS7A45 in the application that you described is the current limit, and because of the current limit this device will not work here.

    I looked through our portfolio and I don't think there is a device that can support this application. The issue is the 1.9A pulsed current with the relatively large input/output voltage; we have a lot of good high-current devices that can easily support 1.9A (continuous), but they are all low-VIN devices. 

    Another alternative is to parallel 2 of these devices so that each one operates within its specified output current range. Let me know if this idea would be of interest. 

    Regards,

    Nick
